SSH as VPN
by Jason.nix from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6GXDX)
Hello,
Can SSH be used as a VPN to tunnel connections? I know it can be done using something like below:
Code:ssh -L PORT:Local_IP:PORT User_Name@Remote_IP -p PORT -NOr:
Code:ssh -D 8080 Remote_Hostbut my question is that why someone prefers OpenVPN or other solutions? Is it because of the capabilities of other solutions?
Thank you.
